In Fig. 1 and in Fig. 2a, 2b embodiments of the connection or connection terminal 1 according to the invention are shown, advantageously as a screwless connection or connection terminal. The connection or

Connecting terminal 1 has an insulating body 2. On the insulating body 2, a pusher 3 is arranged. Below the insulating body 2, a fixing element 6 is mounted, preferably the fixing element 6 is snapped in the insulating body.

The pusher 3 can be made for all terminal poles of the upper row in the insulating body 2 as a single part. This allows a faster

Mounting as if a pusher is used for each terminal pole.

The insulating body 2 has a plurality of chambers which are separate from each other. In each inner chamber of the insulating body 2 is an electrically conductive

Contact body positioned. This contact body consists at least of a contact frame 4 and a spring element 5. About the contact body is the electrical connection or the electrical contact between the in Fig. 1st and FIG. 2, ladders 8, not shown, which can be inserted into the respective insertion holes 9, 10, 11, 12.

The structure of the contact body will be explained in the further description with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13.

The pusher 3 or piano has keys 17. To ensure the necessary pivoting for the keys 17, the pusher 3 is positively connected to the insulating body. It can be done for example by a jack, wherein the connecting element 16 of the pusher 3 is inserted around the axis 15 of the insulating body 2. As a jack, a forked version can be preferred. The connecting element 16 may preferably be fork-shaped. In order to ensure the access of the button 17 to the contact body or spring element 5, a key tip 18 at the end of each key 17 is provided.

By depressing in the direction of R1 of the button 17, the underlying spring leg 23 or 25 at einsteckendem conductor 8a, 8c the relevant

Open terminal to remove the conductor 8a, 8c, as shown in Fig. 8, wherein the conductor 8c can be removed in the direction R2. At the

Release operation of the depression in direction R1 springs the button 17 of the pusher 3 back to the starting position. The single button 17 of the pusher 3 are self-resetting. The design of the Tastenzuge 18 can

Preferably, be chosen so that it rests on a spring leg 23, 25 at rest or stress-free.

In Fig. 3, 4 and 6 different ways are shown how the pressing on the pressing point 22 of the key 17 in the direction of R1 can be done either with a tool 13 or without tools with a finger of a hand 14. Here, however, the tool 13 only used for pressing, it requires no special or

defined tool. In Fig. 5, a tool 13 may be needed to solve a conductor 8 from the insertion hole 10 on the lower floor of the insulating body 2. The buttons 17 of the pusher 3 are independently pivotable and can be pressed independently of each other. Especially for the keys 17 which are arranged opposite each other to the center line 21, the non-depressed key is not pivoted upward when the other is pressed as in the prior art, for example, a conductor 8 of its insertion 9; 1 1 to remove. To make this possible, are

Connecting tongues 19 and connecting tabs 20 between the keys 17 available. The connecting tongues 19 are present between two keys 17, which are arranged opposite one another. The connecting tabs 20 are provided between two keys 17 arranged side by side. It is not excluded that a connecting tongue 19 or a

Connecting tab 20 would break through material wear, but still each key 18 would continue to work for themselves.

There may also be known per se test holes on the keys 17 of the pusher 3 to access the contact body in a chamber of the insulating body 2 to check the electrical contact. The pusher is an insulating material, for example a thermoplastic.

Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of a connecting terminal 1 according to the invention. The insertion holes 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e arranged on the same side and on the same plane of the insulating body 2 of the connecting terminal 1 are in depth offset from each other. For example, the insertion hole 9b is deeper around the

Distance A as the insertion holes 9a and 9c arranged adjacent thereto. This offset principle can also be used for the lower row of insertion holes 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, as well as on the opposite side for the insertion holes 11 and 12, which are not visible here. There are also those

Insertion holes 11 a, 1 1 b, 11 c, 11 d and 11 e in the upper floor, and the

Insertion holes 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 12e in the lower floor. This is advantageous to position the conductors 8 in the insertion holes, as the different rows of pins are more visible. It acts as a visual plug-in aid, especially if the size of the terminal 1 is to be kept low.

The poles or plug-in holes 9a and 10a belong together and on the opposite side, the poles or insertion holes 11a and 12a may exist, which also belong together. They are the poles or insertion holes of a contact chamber. Furthermore, the insertion holes 9b, 10b and 11 b and 12b belong together, they are the poles or insertion holes another

Contact chamber. This also applies to the other insertion holes of group 9/10/1 1 / 12c, 9/10/1 1 / 12d and 9/10/11 / 12e.

To facilitate handling, as a further insertion aid for the ladder 8 in the located in the lower floor insertion holes 10, 12 are

Insertion holes 10, 12 of the lower floor of the insulating body 2 bevelled by an angle W, so that the conductor 8 can be better positioned from above into the insertion holes 10, 12. The insertion holes 9, 11 can also as

Beveled insertion aid. The insertion holes 9, 10, 11, 12 can also be rounded.

The bevel of the insertion holes 9, 10, 11, 12, as well as the offset between the insertion holes within a row acts as an insertion funnel for the ladder 8. It may be a visual easier meeting of the insertion holes 9, 10, 11, 12th for the fitter or electrician allow with the ladders 8.

In the insertion holes 9, 11, in the upper row of the insulating body 2, 8 conductors of all kinds can be used, such as solid, stranded, flexible or rigid conductors, since the spring legs 23, 25 behind each insertion hole 9,11 each of a button 17th can be controlled. This means that the conductors 8 can be inserted or pushed in or unplugged or pushed out without having to exert pressure on the conductor itself. In the insertion holes 10, 12, in the lower row of the insulating body 2, 8 conductors can only be inserted or be unplugged, which are sufficiently rigid to the spring leg 24,26 to move.

The connection or connection terminal 1 can be fastened via the fastening means 51 on the fixing element 6 to further elements. You can, for example, on a sheet, a light housing or parts of a

Illuminant be mounted. This can preferably be done without tools, in which the fastening means 51, here for example as a catch, can be snapped.

In Fig. 7 and Fig.8 a chamber of the insulating body is shown and Figs. 10 to 16 illustrate the structural relationship between the contact frame 4, the spring element 5 and the contact part 7. Thus, the assembly of these elements can be derived.

The contact frame 4 and the spring element 5 form a structural unit as

Contact body, which is preferably vorfertigbar and as a unit through a chamber opening of the insulating body 2, which in the here shown

Embodiments may be located below the insulating body 2, can be used.

In the present terminal 1, the insulating body 2 consists of a plurality of separate chambers, which are arranged along its axis 15. In each chamber, a contact body can be arranged. For each chamber there are 2 insertion holes 9, 10, 11, 12 which are arranged one above the other or in relation to each other in the insulating body, four main clamping points are thereby provided per chamber.

The clamp according to the invention thereby makes it possible to supply the conductors from several different directions.

In Figs. 7, 8 and 10 to 14, etc. is shown. represented the contact body. Of the

Contact body consists at least of a contact frame 4 and a There is one contact body per chamber in the insulating body. Since there are two rows of insertion holes 9 and 11 or 10 and 12 per side, an upper and a lower row, in the insulating body 2, the spring element 5 should be formed for two conductors 8 per side. The spring element 5 may in this case have two floors. Optionally, the contact frame 4, which is a holder for the spring element 5, are formed with two levels.

According to the invention, the contact frame 4 has an upper contact frame web 30 and a lower contact frame web 31, which are directed upright. These two contact frame webs 30, 31 can be displaced if an offset web 32 is present transversely to the contact frame webs 30, 31 and these

Contact frame webs 30, 31 connect. Furthermore, the contact frame 4 legs 33, 34, each of the upper and lower

Contact frame web 30, 31 are arranged. These legs 33, 34 may be perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the upper and lower

Contact frame webs 30, 31 are arranged. Due to the offset web 32 of the contact frame 4 forms no conventional C-shape, but has the upright C-leg offset. This offset does not necessarily have to be in the center of the upright C-leg.

The spring leg 5 is preferably formed in one piece. It has an arm 27, which is present transversely along the upright contact frame webs 30, 31 in the mounted state. The arm 27 is preferably in the mounted state on the offset web 32 of the contact frame 4 and is of

Guide elements guided or held on the contact frame 4. There may be guide elements 41, 42, which are arranged above the offset web 32, so that the arm 27 of the spring element 5 between the

Offset web 32 and the guide elements 41, 42 can be positioned. If there was no offset ridge 32 or if the width of the

Offset web 32 is not sufficient, more guide elements 43, 44 may be present, on which the arm 27 of the spring element 5 can rest. The guide elements 41, 42, 43, 44, for example, as tabs from the upper and lower contact frame web 30, 31 of the contact frame 4 are punched.

At the ends of the arm 27, the spring legs 23, 25 are each connected via a bending edge as a spring leg connection 28, 29 with the arm 27 and bent from this and inclined at an angle, the lower spring legs 24, 26 can be punched by the arm 27 of the spring element 5 become. As a result, the lower spring legs 24, 26 are not as wide as the upper

Spring leg 23, 25 be. It is advantageous if the upper spring legs 23, 25 are wide so that the button 18 of the pusher 3 can have a better pressure surface. The lower spring legs 24, 26 can of the respective

Federschenkelverbindung 28, 29 bent and inclined at an angle. The free ends of the spring legs 23, 24, 25, 26 can be directed toward the legs 33, 34 of the contact frame 2. The upper part of the spring element 5 with the arm 27 and the upper spring legs 23, 25 is a development of known spring elements for connection and connection terminals. The lower part with the lower spring legs 24, 26, which are formed integrally with the upper part of the spring element, for example punched out of the arm 27 of the spring element 5, is a feature of the invention. This allows a terminal and connection terminal 1 with two rows of terminal poles per side, which remains compact and advantageous for applications with LEDs due to the smaller size. The spring legs 23, 24, 25, 26 are present on two floors or levels. Laterally on the contact frame 4 positioning legs 35, 36 are provided. When mounting the spring element 5 on the contact frame 4, they allow a lateral support or locking of the spring element 5. The positioning legs 35, 36 may also be provided as a support. They are preferably arranged within the spring leg connections 28, 29 and are

for example, designed as tabs.

It would also be conceivable that two separate spring elements are present, the arm 27 would be omitted. A spring element could be the spring legs 23 and 25 which would be connected via the spring leg connection 28. The other spring element could have the spring legs 24 and 26, which would be connected via the spring leg connection 29. On the legs 33, 34 contact points 37, 38, 39, 40 are provided. The free end of the spring legs 23, 24, 25, 26 are of the respective

Contact points 37, 38, 39, 40 held or based on these contact points 37, 38, 39, 40. The contact points can be formed knob-like, such as here the contact points 39 and 40. They can also as punched tabs from the leg of the Contact frame 4 are formed, such as here the contact points 37 and 38. Each spring leg 23, 24, 25, 26 can thereby exert its spring forces independently of the other spring legs. It is further advantageous that stops 57, 58 are provided which can limit the insertion depth of the associated conductor 8 (8a, 8b and 8c, 8d). The stops 57, 58 are each by a one-piece turn on

Contact frame 4 formed. Here, the tab 57 forms a stop for the ladder which is in the upper floor, i. be inserted into the insertion holes 9 and 11. The tab 58 forms on one of its sides the stop for the conductor, in the

Insertion 10 is inserted, and on its other side the stop for the conductor, which is inserted in the insertion hole 12. The conductors 8 need not necessarily be inserted all the way to the stop 57, 58, e.g. if they were a bit shorter.

The tabs 55 and 56 are guide elements for the ladder of the upper floor. They serve as a mechanical conductor guide and as a support.

In the insulating body 2 recesses may be provided which allow a holder or snap function for the guide elements 55 and 56 so that the contact frame 4 can be held in the insulating body 2. The spring element may advantageously consist of a strip-shaped

Material blank are produced. The spring element consists of a

Spring properties and temperature resistance material. The contact frame 4 and spring element 5 are metal parts which may have different electrical conductivities.

In the central region of the arm 27 of the spring element has this one

Free space or a recess or an offset on to make room for the

A contact part 7 can be inserted into the connection or connection terminal 1. The contact part engages through the fixing element 6 and the insulating body 2 and enters with the contact body, here with the contact frame 4, in contact. This can be seen for example in Fig. 7. A recess in the fixing element 6 and in the insulating body 2 may be present so that the contact part 7 can be inserted into the connection or connection terminal 1.

On the contact frame 4, a tab 45 may be provided which is resilient. This tab 45 can be stamped out of the contact frame 4 and shaped accordingly. As an example in the illustrated

Embodiment, the tab 45 is disposed below the upper contact frame web 30. Due to their resilient property, the contact part 7, which can be inserted between the lower contact frame web 31 and the tab 45, is clamped. It is important that the contact part 7 in or on

Contact frame 4 can be fixed.

In addition, a locking or latching contact between the contact frame 4 and the contact part 7 can be provided. It can be different

Embodiments for the locking or Rastkontaktierung be provided. In the present exemplary embodiments, either a latching element 50 (FIGS. 19 and 20) or latching nubs 54 (FIGS. 21 and 22) are used on the contact part 7. Other options, such as latching hooks, can not be ruled out. On the contact frame 4, preferably on the lower contact frame web 31, a corresponding counterpart is present, such as a locking edge 47, which forms a stop for the locking element 50. The offset 32 between upper contact frame web 30 and lower

Contact frame web 31 is advantageous in order to make room for the contact part 7. The offset 32 should also help to ensure that the conductors 8 and the contact part 7 do not come into direct contact with each other. When assembling the contact body can first be positioned in the insulating body 2 and subsequently the contact part 7 are inserted from the outside through the insulating body 2 and the fixing element 6, wherein it locks automatically. It can be done by a positive or a positive locking.
